Sad to hear of Frank Tyson's passing. Worked with him on kids summer camps in Melbourne 20 yrs ago, he was a complete gent. #typhoon

I can admit my intro to TV cricket had a camera at one end, & an excitable Norman May countered by a circumspect Frank Tyson. RIP Typhoon.

Sad to hear of Frank Tyson's death. Once the fastest bowler in the world and a brilliant writer too. His books are pure joy.

Sorry to see Frank Tyson has passed on. Fastest in the world. Innovative exerciser. http://t.co/cyB14PvKmd

Frank Tyson and Harold Larwood - the two bowlers who most terrorised Australian batsmen - both lived in the county after they retired.

In his prime, Frank Tyson bowled at a pace comparable to the fastest of all time. Then became a genial looking headmaster!

The typhoon roars no more. Farewell #FrankTyson. A man explosive and mannered.

Sad to hear that Frank Tyson has passed away. Ex Vic coach. I was his student for a few of his books.. Terrific cricketer. Terrific bloke.
